Dailies solution now goes
BEYOND dailies with many new features for media management from production
through post.

HOLLYWOOD—At NAB 2016, MTI Film will launch
the latest version of its groundbreaking dailies and media management software
Cortex with new features for IMF deliveries, dead pixel correction, Dolby
Vision, 4K up-resing and editing, as well as many UI improvements. Originally
conceived as a streamlined dailies processing application, Cortex has developed
into an end-to-end solution for managing media from the set through delivery.

“Cortex goes beyond other media management and transcoding solutions,”
says MTI Film Director of Development Randy Reck. “The new features for 2016
deliver a complete post production package.
Over the last five years, our customers have relied on Cortex for thousands
of hours of productivity. We're proud to
provide them with new features that enable them to service their clients more
completely in a single application.”

New and updated
features for NAB 2016:

IMF and AS02 Support.
Cortex can now create IMF delivery
packages for Netflix, Sony and other distributors as well as AS02 packages for
HBO at significantly less cost than
other solutions.

Dolby Vision. Cortex
outputs HDR video and controls the Dolby Color Management Unit hardware. The
High Dynamic Range metadata can be edited and delivered while simultaneously
monitoring HDR and SDR.

Dead Pixel Detection
and Correction. Dead Pixel Detection,included in all Cortex editions, quickly alerts production when a camera
sensor has a fault. Dead Pixel Correction,a feature of Cortex Enterprise, automatically finds and repairs dead pixels
in edit masters as well as camera clips.

UpRes to 4K. Resize
up or down with MTI HQ or MTI-Samsung UpRes, the industry’s leading algorithm.
MTI and Samsung engineers have
collaborated to deliver the highest quality 4K images from HD sources.

The latest version of Cortex also features an improved
Project Manager with a global search tool so users can easily find and
consolidate clips from different shoot days for revision and re-delivery to the
editing room. Reports are generated
automatically for ALEs, Copy Jobs, HBO Archives, and Cortex Manifests—the easy
way to faithfully transport all job information from one Cortex system to
another.

Edit Tool. Cortex’s new Edit feature can be used to
create custom compositions on a timeline. Edit includes assemblies and simple
tools for overwrite, insert, lift and extract.

Color can be generated and applied via LUTs, CDLs, stills
and supported tactile panels. Cortex is ASC compliant with full ACES support.

Other Cortex features:

Playback is available for all
popular camera and codec file formats.

Copy & Verify allows safe and
efficient backup to three targets with full MD5 checksum.

Cortex Manifest ensures media and
color remain consistent from set to post.

Sync is fast and simple with
automatic and manual modes. Metadata is loaded automatically.

Deliverables
are fully customizable
with burn-ins, matting and watermarking.

Cortex Share, a feature of Cortex
Enterprise, allows projects to be shared across multiple workstations.
